If you have an interest in studying at a Greek university,
it would be helpful for you to know that education for foreigners in Greece is
free of charge.
At the time of enrolling into a university, it is not necessary
to know the Greek language because foreigners are given one year to develop
their language skills.
Enrolling takes place on the basis of total score in
school certificate or diploma of secondary vocational education.
When
necessary, it is possible to obtain a place in a hostel, receive a card for
free meals, free visits of the university sports complex, museums and
historical landmarks. It provides students with a discount on travel on
virtually all types of public transport, including ferries.
Students of Greek
universities are granted residence permit for the entire period of study. Student
residence permits students to work for up to four hours a day.
Also, students
can participate in international exchange programs, such as Erasmus, for six
months or more.
Some students have the opportunity to train in major European
and US universities, with internship taking place in the framework of
scientific research conducted by certain universities in Greece (mostly by the
University of Crete, which is included in the list of four best universities in
the world).
Are you still not convinced to start studying at a Greek
university?
